Scientists at the University of Cambridge made the first vaccine designed by artificial intelligence. They tested it in people. The first test went well.
The vaccine aims to protect against a group of related viruses. This group includes SARS and the virus that causes COVID-19.
The vaccine is different from older vaccines. Scientists used computer work to look at many coronaviruses. They then made a new vaccine from the common parts.
The first human test had 39 people. It was mainly a safety test. A second test with 200 people is now under way. Scientists still need larger tests to see how well it works.
